Non-PRO English to Urdu Social Sciences Geography Indian city names in Urdu
If someone knows how the following Indian places are spelled in Urdu, please help. I have to proofread this list. This is the list:

"Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhatisgarh, Goa and Union Territories – Daman and Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli"

This is what the translator has provided:

گجرات، مہاراشٹریہ، مدھیہ پرادیش، چھتیس گڑہ، گوا اور یونین ٹیریٹوریز - دمن اور دیو، دادرا اور نگر ہویلی

Please confirm if the list is spelled correctly. Please only reply if you're sure.

Thank you.

Thank you. I would like to thank everyone who gave them time and suggestions for this question!

I understand these names are not "translated," but since Urdu is used in India, I'm sure there must be some standard Urdu spellings for these places so just wanted to get the "official" Urdu spellings of these places.

مہاراشٹرا، مدھیہ پردیش، چھتیسگڑھ، گوآ، اور یونین ٹیریٹریز - دمن اور دیو، دادرا اور نگر حویلی

یہ مہاراشٹرا ہے مہاراشٹریہ نہیں۔ چھتیسگڑھ میں نے ہمیشہ ہندی اور پنجابی میں اکٹھا ہی لکھا دیکھا ہے۔ نگر حویلی ایسے ہونا چاہیئے نہ کہ ہویلی۔

agree abufaraz : اردو میں مہاراشٹڑ بھی بغیر 'الف' یعنی مہراشٹر لکھا جاتا ہے غالباً

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you for pointing out the spelling mistakes. I took your suggestions with some modifications. When I looked online, there were more entries for مہاراشٹر than مہاراشٹرا so used that. گوا was more commonly used than گوآ, but گوآ seems more easily understood I think. Also, چھتیس گڑھ was more common than چھتیسگڑھ, both seem valid though."

گجرات، مہاراشٹریہ، مدھیہ پردیش ، چھتیس گڑھ، گوا اور یونین ٹیریٹوریز - دمن اور دیو، دادرا اور نگر ہوی

These names of places are actually in Sanskrit and they are only written in Urdu and not translated. Minor corrections I have done.
